All of us here are currently still basking in the glow of the blissful presentations from the Big 3 at E3. So when our resident Star Wars geeks stumbled upon this gem, they understandably went into a nerdgasm-induced coma. So I’m here to deliver unto you folks screenshots of the character creation screens from the SWTOR beta.

Absolutely – I'm just hoping that it was like this only for beta, because in all honesty, it was pretty limited. I just cant believe that Bioware didn't care this much about character customisation. There's nothing that can be done now…we are less than two months away from release. This is how it's going to be, and you'll see what I mean. Regardless though, if you dont care about that, its a freaking awesome game and you should have already pre-ordered it! I'm willing to see past the character customisation, it's the only let-down I had of this game and I'm really looking forward to it 🙂

Really wish they had more creative UI Artists. The 3D models are great for characters and armor, but all the smaller things like the UI (even the new one) and this character customization interface aren't very good. I know it's a beta and it's not necessarily something they really focus on until later stages of development….I just hope they're aware of how ugly this looks and that it's on the board to get revamped to look more "Star Warsy."

Something as simple as having the character creation being done in a docking bay, cycling through iconic-looking characters standing in front of their starships or something. Anything other than looking at a street corner choosing your characters via goofy icons that look as if they were designed for Magic: The Gathering.
